Highlights
Experience New York City from 70 stories up at the legendary Top of the Rock. This isn’t just a view; it’s a 360-degree panorama of the skyline that leaves every other vantage point in the dust. Your adventure starts at Rockefeller Center’s Welcome Gallery, where you’ll dive into the history of this icon before boarding a high-speed elevator. In just 43 seconds, you’ll be swept up to the 67th floor to explore three levels of indoor and outdoor decks. From Central Park to the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, the photo ops are endless. Level up your visit: The Beam: Channel the 1932 "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" photo as you’re hoisted 12 feet above the deck. Skylift: Take a ride on a glass, unobstructed platform for a true panoramic thrill. All-Inclusive Pass: Get it all—admission, The Beam, and the Skylift—for the ultimate NYC experience. Don't just see the city; stand above it. Book your tickets now for the definitive Rockefeller Center adventure!

5Great experience!
Easy entry, fun NYC attraction. Great photo ops and views of the whole city. Bar, cafe, a gift kiosk at the top. Skylift was a great addition!
1Massively disappointed
Worst experience ever. Can't take your water beyond the lift but as soon as your out the lift at the top you can buy one. Packed like sardines. Time booked for 7pm didn't get up till 7.45pm. just wanted up to get a couple of photos, spent 10 mins at top but it took 1.5 hrs between the Q to get in & the Q to get out. Absolute carryon. Wouldn't recommend, was much better at the other viewing decks. So disappointed.
5Best Views in NYC - great staff!
We had a great experience at Top of the Rock! Professional and friendly staff, great bar and phenomenal views!! This has to be the best view in all of NYC 😍!
5Top of the Rock experience
We had a booking for 3pm, but arrived 20 mins earlier & we were still let in. Very impressed with the service & friendly attitude of the staff. Luckily it was a very clear & sunny day so our view was incredible. There’s nothing you can’t see from the Top of the Rock! You also can explore the bottom of the rock & the gift shop at the end. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
4Ok but needs improvement
It was nice but not sure its worth the price. Also, whilst it is great to see the sunset, they should control the number of people because it defeats the purpose if it is so crowded you can barely appreciate it
5A Must See - Spectacular Views
The views were spectacular. It wasn't overly crowded, and the staff were very nice. I purchased through CitiPass which was a great deal. This is a great take-in for people of all ages.

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
